Lakeside living with beach access in Cape Canaveral
Solana Lake, a gated seaside community in Cape Canaveral, offers a blend of coastal charm and modern convenience. Completed in 2003 by MRI Architectural Group Inc., this five-story condominium complex houses 192 units overlooking a picturesque lake. Situated just steps from the Atlantic Ocean, Solana Lake provides residents with private beach access, creating a perfect balance between lakeside tranquility and seaside recreation. The community's location near Kennedy Space Center and Port Canaveral allows residents to witness rocket launches and cruise ship departures from the comfort of their homes.
Spacious layouts with lake and pool views
Solana Lake offers generously sized two- and three-bedroom condominiums, ranging from 1,698 to 1,956 square feet. The two-bedroom units, priced around $500,000, feature two bathrooms and span 1,698 to 1,828 square feet. These homes boast open floor plans that maximize living space and privacy. Upon entering, residents find a flexible space that can serve as a dining area or home office, complete with a laundry closet housing a full-size washer and dryer.
The heart of each unit is a spacious kitchen with ample countertops, extensive cabinetry, and a walk-in pantry. The kitchen opens to the dining and living areas, creating an ideal space for entertaining. Large sliding glass doors in the living room lead to a covered balcony, offering panoramic views of Solana Lake, its fountains, and the central pool area.
Master bedrooms in these units are generously proportioned, typically measuring 18' x 12', and feature lake views rivaling those from the balcony. The luxurious master bathrooms include corner tubs, separate showers, dual sinks, linen closets, and two closets, one of which is a walk-in.
Guest bedrooms are thoughtfully placed at the opposite end of the unit for privacy and come with their own walk-in closets. The guest bathrooms, which also serve the main living areas, include tub/shower combinations, single vanities, and large linen closets.
Three-bedroom units, while less common, offer approximately 2,000 square feet of living space with two bathrooms. These larger units provide even more flexibility for families or those desiring extra space.
All units come equipped with hurricane shutters (both accordion and roll-down styles) and individual air conditioning systems. Many interiors have been updated with modern finishes such as luxury vinyl tile in living areas and tile in kitchens and bathrooms.
Resort-inspired amenities centered around a lake
